Learning how to make things yourself is a great way to save money. In this video by the youtuber “DaveHax”, you’ll learn everything you need to know to make your own, homemade cough drops!
All of the recipe ingredients are things you’ll probably have in your cupboard already. To make the sweets, combine 1 cup of sugar with ½ cup of water. Then add 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice and honey. After that, you can add some fun spices like ½ teaspoon of ginger and a ¼ teaspoon of cloves.
Once it comes to a simmer, stir it regularly to keep it from burning to the bottom of the pot. Once it gets dark and syrupy, let it cool. Then all you have to do is put little droplets onto baking paper and let it set. Toss with flour and done!
This recipe is really adaptable as well. It teaches you all the basics you’d need to know to make any type of candy you’d want. The ingredients are so basic that you could probably get started right now!
